About Nancy

For Nancy Williams, the interest in photography began at Clemson University when she was advertising manager for the yearbook. “Even though we were working with older cameras, the experience gave me an eye for photography that has really stuck with me to this day,” she says.

Since that time, Nancy, who is retired from Human Resources at Duke Energy, has taken her art to a whole new level. From showcasing her work at festivals around the area, teaching elementary students as part of a summer camp to photographing events and weddings, her expertise—and her work—is in high demand.

In 1996, Nancy was photographing an Austin Healey show at the Biltmore when she realized she must find a way to further pursue her interest. Not long after, while visiting some friends, she stumbled upon photo notecards in a gift store. Intrigued by the photos and the idea, Nancy reached out to the artist and received some sage advice—and inspiration—to take her craft to the next level.

And, as they say, the rest is history. Today, Nancy, an avid traveler with her husband, has transformed many images from her travels, love for nature, people and places into note cards and framed artwork. But regardless of whether she’s captured a scene in Amsterdam or the Dilworth area of Charlotte, Nancy says she has found one thing to be true. “I find that people are attracted to the things that are most familiar to them.” Pictures of Nancy’s Border Terrier dogs named Lucas and Austin continue to be fan favorites. And her more recent photos of Charlotte icons—like the signs on the Green—and the skyline are also very popular among individuals and companies.
